Assistant Professor of Computer Science
Ph.D., University of Massachusetts at
Amherst, 1994
Professor Riloff's research interests are in the
areas of natural language processing (NLP), information retrieval, and
artificial intelligence. Her current research projects include
conceptual sentence analysis, information extraction, corpus-based
knowledge acquisition, and text categorization and segmentation. The NLP
group at Utah is currently building a conceptual natural language
processing system called Sundance, which consists of corpus-based
components that can be easily adapted for different domains.
Professor Riloff also works on corpus-based systems for generating
extraction patterns automatically (the AutoSlog and AutoSlog-TS
systems), for building semantic lexicons, and for NLP-based text
categorization and segmentation.
